FTFA:Austin Ruse, president of the Catholic Family and Human Rights Institute in Washington, D.C., said the shift "would utterly change Scouting and dramatically reduce their ranks. The Catholic and Mormon groups would simply have to walk away."

And another group of bigots with "Family" in their name. Good for the Scouts; it's about damn time.

Hopefully they'll still be prepared. Which reminds me of a great Tom Lehrer song... I'll sing it lustily for you...

This one is a little song dedicated to the Boy Scouts of America. [applause] We seem to have a convention here tonight. The Boy Scouts of America, those noble little... bastions of democracy, and the American Legion of tomorrow. Their motto is... I would like to state at this time that I am not now and have never been... a member of the Boy Scouts of America. Their motto is, as you know, Be Prepared! and that is the name of this song.

Be prepared! That's the Boy Scout's marching song,Be prepared! As through life you march along.Be prepared to hold your liquor pretty well,Don't write naughty words on walls if you can't spell.Be prepared! To hide that pack of cigarettes,Don't make book if you cannot cover bets.Keep those reefers hidden where you're sureThat they will not be foundAnd be careful not to smoke themWhen the scoutmaster's aroundFor he only will insist that it be shared.Be prepared!Be prepared! That's the Boy Scouts' solemn creed,Be prepared! And be clean in word and deed.Don't solicit for your sister, that's not nice,Unless you get a good percentage of her price.Be prepared! And be careful not to doYour good deeds when there's no one watching you.If you're looking for adventure of anew and different kind,And you come across a Girl Scout who issimilarly inclined,Don't be nervous, don't be flustered, don't be scared.Be prepared!

I'd be OK with the religious groups walking away, they kind of took over for the past couple of decades and screwed things up.

Our troop had a leader that turned out to be gay. He was ousted once he was "discovered". Oddly enough, he never messed with any kids, and is generally regarded by everyone who knows him a good guy.
